and, as we know now, what governor desantis did is he went to san antonio, texas, rounded up a bunchot them on a plane, lured them on a plane, apparently under false pretenses. could be another violation of law. and then flies them up to massachusetts. it looks like there are two potential violations of law with this one act committed in a cruel manner. the governor of florida, governor desantis. and it's inexcusable. they are using these people as political pawns is such an extreme overreach, if you will. and so unkind and so undecent. it boggles the mind. but, you know, it's part of the pattern of this guy. he signed a law against a woman's right to choose in florida that is so egregious, it doesn't have any exceptions for rape or incest. this is him. >> so let me ask you about this one part about this that there's a lot of work being done to understand what happened. but, you know, when you point out that the migrants would have to be in the state of florida, well, of course they came from san antonio, texas, as you point out. they flew from there. but then they landed in crestvie

in texas, a san antonio-area sheriff has launched a criminal investigation into whether recruiters unlawfullytricked a group of 48 asylum-seekers into boarding flights that took them to martha's vineyard, an island off the coast of massachusetts. lawyers for the migrants say they were given brochures promising cash assistance, job placement services, and more. bexar county sheriff javier salazar said monday the asylum-seekers were instead unceremoniously left stranded. >> what, if anything, did they find? did they even understand the document put in front of them if they signed swamp thing or was this a predatory measure, preying upon people minding their own business and are here legally, not bothering a soul, but somebody saw fit to come from another state, hunt them down, pray upon them, and take advantage of their desperate situation just for the sake of potical theater, just for the sake of making some sort of statement, and putting people's lives in danger? amy: last week, florida republican govnor ron desantis took credit for sending the asylum-seekers to martha's vineyard, saying it's

rosa flores is out front in san antonio, texas. that is where the flights of these migrants originated. i know you're trying to talk to these people to see why they got on these flights to martha's vineyard. >> reporter: we've also been trying to find this mystery woman by the name of pearla who allegedly recruited all these migrants to get on this flight. so we've retraced her steps. let me take you through this because what you see beyond the trees, that's the migrant resource center here in san antonio. and we've watched this happen all day long. migrants cross that busy street that you see behind me, and they go to the shopping centers that are all around me here. now i've been collaborating with my colleague because she's been getting photographs and also videos of this woman named pearla and the steps that they took along the way. we've been reconnecting some of those dots. and turns out this is the parking lot where this woman pearla met with all of these migrants. and, remember, this is the woman who promised these migrants

but we asked the sheriff here in san antonio here today if they've been able to identify this woman.they have identified several people. they would not tell us exactly who they are. the sheriff says he's trying to figure out exactly what those people were doing in the area around this migrant shelter last week and the days leading up to that flight. >> so, ed, are all of them or some of them asylum seekers? >> by, by -- by in large the vast majority of people that you're seeing, especially the ones that are coming here, have asylum process in the paperwork. so, they've already been processed by either border patrol or -- >> okay, got it. >> then the paperwork and a cout dates. >> okay, i just want to clarify that. are these governors getting in the way of legal proceedings by getting in there locations? >> well, that's a possibility. it really kind of depends on what court date they have been given. there are some people who we have spoken to have court dates relatively soon. so, for example, if you are told to appear at a court date within the next month or two in florida, and you g

so, it is possible, it was just easier pickings and san antonio, to find people, who they can get tolorida, does have a housing crisis. the cost of living is very high. they are a dense county, and we are seeing an uptick, from what i understand, the homeless situation, the housing situation cÔte d'ivoire. there are more, and more, migrant families, and they are difficult to play some. desantis explanation is, look, we are stopping them before they come here, however, that has a minority report, department of pre-crime feel to it. we know you are going to florida, so let's stop you. nevertheless, florida senate democrats have sued, quite clearly, that the state budget, authorizing this 12 million dollar program, says you need to be an unauthorized migrant, from this state, and these appear to be authorized migrants, from a different state. it's like what they used to say that the holy roman empire. it's neither wholly, nor roman, no empire. this was not an authorized immigrant from the state program, because they were authorized migrants from another. >> that point, i think, is a key

nbc's reporter is in san antonio with more. >> there is a lot of moving parts to this issue on one endgrants that were flown from martha's vineyard. and an investigation that has been announced by the sheriff here. and then, of course, there was the legal action taken by the state senator in florida, who says that governor ron desantis used state allocated money to fly these migrants, violating rules that the state of florida had set to use those $12 million, right? now, on the other hand, you have a large member, number of migrants, tens of thousands that continue requesting asylum in the united states. this is part of a larger crisis that tracks back to latin america. you've got countries like venezuela, nicaragua, cuba, the people are fleeing with no other options. these asylum seekers are entering the united states and getting any help they can, and they continue that process, right? so, earlier, i spoke with a migrant. we talked about what's been happening. he had no idea that a lot of migrants had been flown to martha's vineyard. but he did say that as a migrant enters the countr

the plans originated in san antonio, texas, but stopped in florida first.yard were told they were headed to boston, which means yesterday florida governor ron desantis became the third republican governor during the likes of greg abbott in arizona governor doug doocy in trying to turn our nations immigration system into some kind of political prank, using people as plot ponds to prove once and for all the democrat led states and cities are not actually sanctuaries for migrants. he will show those states. nbc got a chance to talk with one of the migrants have arrived at martha's vineyard yesterday. >> [speaking non-english] >> [interpreter] >> [speaking non-english] >> [speaking non-english] >> [speaking non-english] >>,,. but this stunt echoes what we saw a 60 years ago when the segregation southerners bust black americans to massachusetts. we're seeing a group of disenfranchise black or brown paper used as pawns, because the vision of those very same black and brown people being fully integrated into american society is terrifying to certain conservative l

center here in san antonio.r, you have three days you can stay for three days, and then your out. people are very desperate here to find a way to move forward with their lives. and that's what happened here. as they're outside of that center, there are approached by a woman who never gives her name, she said she's from an organization that is going to help them to get somewhere in the country. she said that she wouldn't tell them where they were going, or she couldn't, until the very last moment, but it would be away from texas to a place that had more resources for them, and potentially jobs. they signed up and, quite literally, the way it worked was, you get into her suv. if you are a yes for this program, you get into the suv. at that point, they would drive to a lucky to outside of san antonio, outside of downtown, and then they waited until there were enough people to fill a flight. that news came in earlier this week. there is going to be a flight to delaware. and as of that night, as of monday night, the

she, her family, and 47 others got on to two planes near san antonio. and they ended up here in martha's vineyard. i want to bring in dillon fernandez, a state representative here. you've been chatting with folks. how are they doing here and what needs are being met? >> sure. everyone's needs are being met right now. we have to move over so the person can come through here. everyone's needs, the second they got off the plane were met. this island community sprang together. everyone got the beds and the shelter. we have areas set up, triage areas with spanish-speaking attorneys. we have a play room for the children that is set up. there's kids here. >> reporter: seven families. four children between the ages of 3 and 8. the woman i spoke to earlier said her case, her next appointment is in san antonio in a month or so on a refugee status because she has claimed refugee status, her family. how is this going to work? this is more complicated than getting them to the mainland and getting them to some shelter in massachusetts or elsewhere. >> that's what the

woman who many have said identified herself only as -- he says he was living on the streets of san antonio before he was offered food, clothes and money to help secure migrants for the flight to martha's vineyard. he showed us her business card, text messages and let us listen to messages revealing she was in contact with him as recently as last week. for his safety, we are protecting his identity. >> who approached you? >> a woman, she said her name was perla. i didn't know if this was her real name. my only intention was to help the people so they could get stability. she took them to a hotel. a the hotel i realized they were being treated well. they had laundry, cloethes, things te dhey didn't have the expectation of getting. >> what did she say you had to do? help people, recruit them. she said she would help me and distribute her cards. we would send them to a sanctuary place. until the flight would leave, we would take them to a hotel, where as i explained to you, they were provided services. >> what did she say to you to tell these migrants when you approached them? did she give you

if you go to any restaurant in san antonio right now, you will wait a long time to get your table even though there is empty tables because there is not enough wait staff to wait on you. af you will wait a long time for your food because half of cooks are not showing up or they quit. so hire these folks, give them the opportunity to work legally and make sure that the employers are doing it the right way and paying them correctly. and here is the catch, tax them on it so they are paying taxes on any income. they are no the making any more than anybody else, but not less than anybody else either and they are paying their fair share of taxes. i really think -- obviously he know we can't let anybody into the country. there is going to be people that are undesirables. they may have a terrorist or criminal background. keep those folks in their country of origin. but people who just want to do a hard day's work for a hard day's pay, bring them in and put them to work. >> vice president harris has gotten criticism for an interview that she gave this month where she talked about the border bei

what happened to that money, outside of the fact that roughly 50 migrants were flown over from san antonio, texas, to martha's vineyard. the state program that this was authorized under said it was for unauthorized aliens -- that is a quote -- from this state. but they did not get them from this state. they got him from texas. that's not with the losses, that's not with the budget says, that authorize this. in addition, these migrants were not unauthorized aliens when you talk to the lawyers. they said these were asylum seeking migrants, mostly, if not all, venezuelan. and therefore, they were authorized to be in the united states. so, a program for unauthorized aliens to be removed from florida wound up enriching some company based out in the panhandle, an air charter company, to remove authorized aliens from texas, and take them to martha's vineyard. so, we are trying to figure out the logic in that a little more. but so far, we are not getting a holistic of answers in the way of understanding what happens. >> not only are they flying migrants in the wrong sort of immigration category ou

monday night, a 48 year old woman was shot and killed near east 20th and 23rd avenue in the san antonio neighborhood. the homicides weren't the only incidents that kept oakland police busy. officers also had to address four separate shootings that occurred citywide within a 13 hour span. and yet another case this man was arrested by oakland police and the chp near city hall downtown after police say he a tow truck near eight 87th street. now back outside outside city hall here at 14th and broadway. oakland police now investigating its fourth homicide since last night after that, double shooting and the pill hill neighborhood woman killed in san antonio and now one of two men killed and a broad daylight shooting right outside city hall. now 14th street has since been reopened about 15 20 minutes ago, but the investigation still in its infancy stages reporting live in downtown oakland. henry lee ktvu fox two news, so many investigations underway altogether and we know staffing will be an issue. all right, henry lee, thank you so much for that. and while the investigation of that double ho

we, we have been volunteering in san antonio are helping them or we are, you know, like there's, there is a sense that places like boston and places like new york haven't had to deal with what the border states have been dealing with. and you don't have to be statistic to say we, you know, it requires resources which the federal government has actually been giving to places like san antonio. but it does require resources to house people. busy to, to, to teach kids who only know a different language. if it's not free, it costs money and it can be a demographic, a demographic transformation of a place. and so look, my mother is from, she grew up in mississippi. she's a black woman from mississippi and on the immigration issue, she's pretty, she's, she's sounds conservative. sometimes she's like those jobs that these migrants are taking should go to black people who have been here all this time. and so, you know, there is a, it's about, it's a trade off, a lot of times people with people who are well off who have college degrees and who want to hire, you know, babysitters for cheap or law

part of the issue is that they were in san antonio, which has already filed a suit against texas forre already in a city where they could get help. they were falsely lured from texas to florida and then to massachusetts so that's two different state of issues from the federal government, their main charge with regard to kidnapping and fraud there alone should be enforced. as a matter of fact, it seems the department of justice should be bringing something in to these carriers who are known to be trafficking these individuals who did not know where they were going. the airline and bussing companies to stop this from happening immediately. those are some of the charges: in addition, he's specifically targeting foreign nationals to move throughout the country. >> beyond this particular county, is it possible federal laws have been broken here? >> i think a number of federal laws have been broken. there's a report today that a flight landed in california a couple of hours ago. so once again, smuggle, kidnapping and fraud alone is enough to stop this from happening with couriers because t
